These 25 Rich-Looking H&M Items Shot Me Right Up Into a Higher Tax Bracket
As much as I wish 2024 had brought with it instant access to a higher tax bracket, it didn't, at least not for me. But I've never been one to let something like that (or really anything at all) stop me from dressing the part. Of course, I still thought I'd have to do my fair share of digging through products in search of pieces that look expensive but actually aren't. Little did I know that everything necessary to aesthetically level up financially was about to arrive in H&M's new arrivals section—no digging necessary.
From double-breasted cardigans that could easily be found on the racks of a designer boutique to timeless footwear that I know for a fact will sell out and go viral by EOW, the 25 brand-new finds below are a recipe for looking rich at an accessible price. Oh, and did I mention there's cashmere? Before everything really does sell out, scroll down and start shopping.
Every time H&M drops new ballet flats, they fly off the shelves. These won't be any different.
I feel like Kelly Rutherford would rock this coat in one of her iconic elevator selfies.
If you've been eyeing the Khaite x Oliver Peoples cat-eye sunglasses but can't quite swing it right now, these $18 sunnies are a perfect alt.
With the right pieces and styling, a creamy Canadian tuxedo can be one of the chicest and easiest outfits of all.
These kitten heels will get so much wear, whether they're being dressed up or down.
Simple crewneck cardigans are a wardrobe staple. You can pair them with jeans or leggings for a more casual look or dress them up with a column skirt or tailored trousers.
This jacket with dark jeans and a pair of kitten heels is low-key luxury at its core.
